Next time sub 7 is a great goal. Time can often be shaved a bit during the transition time.

Nice job Rich. Keep working on that grip work. C2b got very challenging after round 4 for many athletes as the grip and lats began to fade

B. Did solo, rest 1:1, DL @ 235#. 5:56

With that volume accumulation C2B will get very challenging. As we are learning though, grip plays a huge role in our gymnastics movements.

340 for 3 reps
225 for the metcon(65%) 7:23
One to one work/rest ratio no partner today. Deals were unbroken and solid. First 2 rounds of C2B were good, I noticed as time passed I lost my rythem on the butterfly. Practice will fix that. Overall good day!

When you lose your rhythm on C2B it is usually because you stop pushing down on the bar. Give that a shot and keep us updated. Nice work overall Felix

Love the choice to assault bike. I am a little worried that nagging injuries continue to happen Ryan. Please let us know how we can help so we can avoid pain and help enhance the quality of your life.

Really unsure why but it is getting old and frustrating. Seems as if it’s not one, thing it is another.

Worked up to 430, not sure what my 3RM PR is, so this is probably it.

Worked B with Carter at 290 – 10:21, I slowed him down quite a bit, grip didn’t like a barbell or a rig by round 4.

Nice work on the 3RM DL! Grip work is now going to be your friend. 3 sets of 100m farmer carries twice a week with DB or KB! Have at it Ian woot woot
